India: Unity in diversity

India
is a land of diverse physical features. Every possible geographical physical feature
you can think of is present in India. The people of India have diverse physical
features. They practise different religions, speak different languages and
follow different customs and traditions. They also differ in their dress and
food habits.

In
spite of all these external differences, the people of India have a common
feeling of Indianness. They are bound by a common cultural heritage and they
share certain basic values.

Hence we use the phrase ‘Unity in Diversity’ to
describe the social fabric of India. This is to express the great truth that
despite their many differences, the people of India are all united as Indians.
From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Arunachal Pradesh to Gujarath, they all have
a feeling of that they belong to one nation.
